See your GYN ASAP: If you were taking Accutane (isoretoin) when you got pregnant, you must see your gyn doctor immediately. There is a very high chance of miscarriage or serious birth defects in babies conceived by people taking accutane. If you have stopped taking accutane, it is recommended to wait at least 6 months before becoming pregnant to decrease the risk of serious birth defects.
